About this episode

LL0284 – Žinoti To Know

 

Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Gintarė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.

 

Before we get started with today’s episode, Linas of interlinear books asked me to let you know he has some Lithuanian books available online that have English translations. His site is not free and I cannot personally comment on the site’s quality. I’m just passing along the information so you know the resource is there if you’re curious. You can find more information on the books at the bottom of our show notes on this episode of Lithuanian Out Loud. Alright, let’s get started with today’s episode!

 

Today we’ll go over the Lithuanian verb žinoti – to know.  Here are žinoti and nežinoti conjugated in the present tense.

kas yra (what’s up?)

kas yra (what’s with you?)

kas yra 

juokinga man labai (it’s very funny to me)

 

(Gintarė was laughing because we were going over such simple and basic information)

 

 

So, here are the infinitives

 

infinitive
